It’s time to put your music knowledge and cognitive skills to the test with two tricky brainteasers – only true music nerds can solves these puzzles in under 30 seconds
You will need to be a true music buff if you are to solve these brainteasers in under 30 seconds.
There are several benefits to completing brainteasers and puzzles in your spare time. Research shows that while they stimulate your cognitive ability and help with focus, they can also help combat anxiety and stress.
We all know that exercising your body regularly is important to stay healthy, but it is also important to regularly exercise your brain. The brain is just like the muscles in your body.
These music-themed puzzles are the perfect opportunity to give your brain that exercise. They were recently shared on TikTok by the popular The Ezz Show account, which boasts more than 533,000 followers.
The video has been viewed more than one million times and includes two puzzles. Both are abstract, AI-generated images that are clues to the names of famous music artists. Do you think you have what it takes to crack them in a matter of seconds?
The first image shows a chain in the middle of a children’s playground. The girls in the video initially guessed “Blink-81”, before the quizmaster asked them if they meant Blink-182. However, that answer was incorrect.
The quizmaster even gave some clues, noting that the band in question have recently released a new single with a new lead singer. The answer was, of course, Linkin Park – who the people guessing had never heard of! The band announced a comeback last month and revealed new music recorded with vocalist Emily Armstrong, following the tragic death of original frontman Chester Bennington.
The second puzzle image shows a giant “L” on some scales, next to a toilet. Giving another clue, the quizmaster revealed it was a “famous musician” rather than a band. “There’s a big time play on words happening here,” he added. Any guesses?
The guessers managed to get this one much more easily, with one saying immediately: “Elton John.” It’s worth noting that “John” is a slang term for toilet in the US and Canada.
